The Ministry of Internal Affairs spokesperson, Mr Simon Mundeyi, has said that Raid Samuel James Armin, popularly known as Muzungu Boda was “removed from Uganda because he was found working illegally”
Simon Mundeyi, the spokesperson for the ministry, disclosed during a press briefing on Monday that Muzungu Boda had been working in Uganda without a valid work permit, violating the country’s immigration laws.
“To work in any country, an individual must possess a valid work permit. It is not permissible to work on a tourist visa, which he was doing while running a charitable NGO,” Mundeyi stated.
While Muzungu Boda held a valid tourist visa, his activities were deemed work-related, breaching the terms of his stay. As a result, he was escorted back to his home country, New Zealand.
Mundeyi clarified that this action was not a deportation, a distinction that allows Muzungu Boda to return to Uganda in the future, provided he secures the necessary documentation.
